Why Fantasia, Why????

I'm disappointed in this girl.

I still think she has a BEAUTIFUL voice, but she wastes it on crap like Hood Boy.

Hood Boy? WTF???


Baby Making Hips?

disbelief

I don't see myself driving down the street blasting either one of these. lol

I heard that this morning and I had the same reaction.

Crap crap and more crap.

The ultimate destruction of R&B.

You can take the girl out of the hood,...but you can't take "the hoodboy" out of the girl.

No surprise.

Fantasia is of the hip-hop generation. If she's listed as one of the songwriters of THIS song, then she speaks the truth. She likes bad boys.

They play this song on one of the R&B stations here and I always do this: rolleyes neutral. My co-worker actually like this song eek . I think there's something wrong with him lol The song sucks and like what was said before, it's a waste of talent doing a song like this.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

The album artwork suggested she was going off into some totally edgy stuff and looks very European. Guess the artwork is misleading and it's the same old, same old! The music isn't bad but I guess that is explained by a sample, of course. Could've been worse....Could've been "Fatasialious"! Try saying that ten times fast! Try saying it conce! It's upsetting when the cover of an album, which isn't even that great seems 10 times more intersting than the album. See Gwen Stefani!

i know what you mean. when i saw the album cover i thought it would be more artsy. i haven't bought the album because i heard some samples and it's the same generic r&b crap so i won't be purchasing it. it's a shame because this girl is so talented. talk about a voice bu it's going to waste on unoriginal crap.

This definately detracts from her good girl from the hood who done good image. Well, no one ever said she was a genius. She just sings well.

I'll be the odd person out on this but I never liked her voice (sounds like she's about to hawk up a loogie while gargling broken glass). And she should rethink the monochrome make-up. It's just not becoming. By the way is dressing like a hooker the new in thing?

On a lighter note she seems like a very nice person. and I didn't know that
K-Ci and Jo Jo were her cousins.

Stanley crouch is right when he says a lot of these videos are nothing but modern-day minstrel shows. Damn shame.

I must admit when i first read the post and went to watch the video,
i feared the worst. The song is actually not that bad. Of course i am tired
like everyone else with these singers of today claiming their ghetto status
(monica included) instead of doing good music without all the references to
being a ghetto chick or wanting a thug boy. It is very tired. Nevertheless, i
have heard worse and i actually like the song's beat. You must also remember
she did the baby mama's song on the first cd. However; let's hope tasia step it
up on the rest of the cd and do what her momma patti taught her. lol

I guess since I was the only one to comment on not liking her voice this is directed to me. lol Fair enough. Yes, her voice is her own. Doesn't mean I have to enjoy listening to it.

I never direct anything to anyone here...I'm directing the comment towards my own taste and just pissed off she's wasting her uniqueness on complete and utter bullshit. sad

Fantasia appeared briefly on Missy Elliott's Cookbook. Did Missy do anything on Fantasia's new album?
